Mitch Rein

[duck]

Sick of seeing our forwards have to reach behind them or collect it from their ears. Worst was the pass that he bulleted into Matthews right shoulder.

You have a forward steaming onto the ball with 300kg of opposition forwards waiting to nail him. The last thing Matthews needs is to wonder where the ball will hit him. It's a basic skill Rein doesn't possess. I find it infuriating.

 

[Mr Red]

i love it when we are on the attack and our first receiver has to stop running, stand still and wait for the pass from Rein. he never throws it out in front of the receiver so they can run onto it and keep the momentum..

Inappropriate mate.

The guy has done his time and is doing his best to get his life back in order.

No more jokes or references to prison please. It isn't appropriate

Hahahaha I'll pay that.

I don't think it was that bad but certainly wasn't 'consistently good' which really should be the minimum requirement for a hooker. At one point it looked as though JDB gave him stern talking to after Rein passed a ball between JDB and Packer resulting in a JDB knock-on (wasn't his fault. He didn't know if the pass was for him or Packer).

Honestly the forwards get themselves flat footed and mill around like sheep at times.

This exhibits a total lack of game planning or forward leadership you can't blame Rein for that.

Get back deep, run hard and call for the ball pretty simple stuff.

If Sam Thaiday was playing in our team he would leave it in doubt when he wanted the ball and would have little trouble in getting Rein organised.

If De Belin didn't know that pass was for him he is a dope and better undo the knot on his head to get the blood circulating.

By all means give Rein criticism for what he does wrong on a continual basis but don't lump him with other players lack of ability or inability to read the game.

Can't argue with that! The forwards standing flat footed has nothing to do with Rein. Plus the fact the one out running is so predictable that there are always big bodies just waiting to shut us down.

What utter BS. Firstly, it isn't that simple. As "Dragons 66" eluded to, if it were so simple the enemy would always be in a position to shut it down.

As far as 'that pass', I think JDB needs to give you slap around the ears to hopefully knock some sense through your thick skull. The ball was between the two. They probably both could have caught it but it should have been in the bread basket of the player it was meant for. Judging by JDBs furious reaction and Rein dropping his head, it was meant for Packer. Either way, if JDB had left the ball, it would have been behind Packer and as it was, it was too far in front of JDB.

Spot on Old Timer.

You know more about the game than some in here

You say either could have caught it then 1 of them should have.

If in front of De Belin he should try running onto it from a deep position rather than 2 or 3 steps behind the ruck which is the norm. At times he looks like "twinkletoes Flintstone" from good old PU.

You seem to describe 2 players in similar space 1 a little forward 1 a little back that sounds remarkably like "milling around" to me

De Belin's reaction means nothing lots of people take it out on others for their own mistakes.

Ah Mau doesn't seem to have too many issues "why" because he runs hard from a long way back.

FFS your idiocy is starting to annoy me again:x.

JDB doesn't simply get deep and run hard all the time like Au Mau because that is not JDBs job. His job is to at times get deep and run hard and other times to pass the ball before the line and other times to step and try and get between defenders and look for an offload. And continually and consistently hit hard in defense. JDB does all those things and for the over a year has been doing it very well. Before that, under the tutelage of supercoach Price one could only wonder how a guy seemingly so talented could play so poorly.

Mitch Reins job is first and foremost to provide good clean passes out of dummy half to the first receiver. Not pass it between two runners leaving the closer guy not knowing if it was meant for him or the runner outside him.

JDB does his job and does it well on an extremely consistent basis and did that job in the CS of 2016. Mitch Rein doesn't and didn't in the CS of 2016!

Great to hear Commish. I am indeed pumped for 2016. It may take the team a few games to build up a head of steam but think they'll come good

What are your guys thoughts on Havilii vs Rein?
Preference?

 

[watatank]

Most people are either happy with Rein or not happy with Rein, and hope that Havili is better

Havili was good in the CS game in giving Rein a rest and then playing as a backrower when Rein came back on. Rein still has a few things to work on and isn't an 80min player so if Havili plays consistently like he did in the CS, I would imagine he is a certainty for the 17.

Absolutely!
